Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Working with a narrow urban lot under 39 ft wide—the design is just 22 ft wide
  • Need duplex or investment property with independent units (two completely separate units, each with garage)
  • Want second-floor laundry in each unit (laundry located on upper floor)
  • Seeking multi-unit housing on a deep, narrow footprint (76 ft depth, narrow width)
  • Prefer individual kitchen islands and walk-in pantries per unit (each unit equipped)
  • Need first-floor master suites for accessibility on one or both units (second-floor master suites)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Looking for a single-family home—this is a duplex with two independent residential units
  • Need a lot wider than 39 ft—the plan is designed for 22 ft width only
  • Want fewer than 4 full bathrooms—this duplex features 4 full baths total
  • Prefer main-floor master bedrooms—both master suites are on the second floor
  • Need a single garage—each unit has its own front-load 2-car garage

About this plan

Contemporary Narrow-Lot Duplex for Urban Density

This contemporary duplex is engineered for narrow urban lots, spanning just 22 ft wide by 76 ft deep, with 1,277 sq ft of heated living per unit across two stories. The dual-unit design prioritizes privacy, offering separate garages, distinct entry points, and independent floor plans. Each unit features an open-concept first floor with kitchen island, walk-in pantry, formal dining area, and keeping room, plus a half bathroom for guests.

The second floor of each unit contains the master suite, additional bedrooms, and dedicated laundry, with 8-foot ceilings throughout. Four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms are distributed efficiently across the duplex. Individual front-load 2-car garages provide 434 sq ft of combined parking.

The 8:12 roof pitch and 26 ft 3 in maximum height suit restricted zoning envelopes, while the narrow footprint is optimized for high-density housing without sacrificing unit functionality or proportional design.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
